Week 2 update on Bucket List

I am working on the following in Week 1:

2) Run a marathon
45) Bench 225
52) Never weight over 195
55) Do something so sweet Wife gets teary-eyed
66) Write 10 love notes to Wife a year
97) Do something truly evil (not done yet, but working on it...)
115) Celebrate 50 years of marriage
118) Learn Guitar and play for a crowd
120) Do 100 push-ups
124) Write a song
126) Weight 185 pounds

2, 45, 120, 126. Three days a week at the Racquetball Club. Run 2-4 miles on the indoor track. Do 7 exercises, 3 sets, 10-15 reps (until failure). Alternate chest/triceps and back/biceps. Abs every day. I'm not lifting enough weight to gain muscle mass. I'm more interested in giving the calories I eat everyday some place to go besides my belly.


52, 126. Crash diet. Nevermind the low carb, good cholesterol/bad cholesterol, South Beach diet, low fat, high protein, or other fad diets. I simply eat less than 1,500 calories a day.

I've lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. The first 10 are easy. My body starts to push back at 15 pounds lost. I should weigh zero in a mere 103 weeks.


55, 115, 118, 66. I've also spent 7+ hours learning the guitar this week. I think I'll learn to play a sweet song Wife likes: "Dancing in the Moonlight" and play for her one night when I can get her out to see Nick's band play. I think I can talk Nick into 3 minutes of stage time to do something sweet for Wife. I also brought her flowers with a note.
